Virginia Tech guard Jalen Hudson transfers to Florida

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) Florida has another transfer from Virginia Tech.

The Gators announced Monday 6-foot-5 guard Jalen Hudson has joined the program. Hudson will have to sit out the 2016-17 season under NCAA transfer rules and will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Florida can only hope Hudson performs as well as its last transfer from Virginia Tech. Forward Dorian Finney-Smith left Blacksburg, Virginia, in 2012 and was the Southeastern Conference's Sixth Man of the Year in 2014.
